Malala Yousafzai to write book about her life

Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl shot by the Taliban, is to write a book about her life.

The book, which will be called "I am Malala", will tell the story of the 15-year-old who was shot by Taliban gunmen after she became an campaigner for girl's education.

Malala said; "I want to tell my story, but it will also be the story of 61m children who can't get education. I want it to be part of the campaign to give every boy and girl the right to go to school. It is their basic right."
